Start with the given inequality:

Set up a number line:

note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with

Now plot the point -3 on the number line

Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose 0, and test the inequality

Plug in

Since this inequality is true, we simply shade the entire portion that contains 0 using the point -3 as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the right of the point -3 like this:

Graph of with the shaded region in blue

note: at the point -3, there is an closed circle. This means the point -3 is included from the solution set.
